 Mrs. Doubtfire Mrs. Doubtfire Quote: Mrs. Doubtfire is a Golden Globe and Academy Award Winning 1993 American comedy film starring Robin Williams and based on the novel Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine. It was directed by Chris Columbus and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It won the Academy Award for Best Makeup.[1] The film was placed 67th in the American Film Institute's 100 Years, 100 Laughs: America's Funniest Movies (see the 100 Years Series), a list of the 100 funniest movies of the 20th century, and was also rated #40 on Bravo's 100 Funniest Movies of All Time. The original music score was composed by Howard Shore. Haven't seen this in a while.

What a random movie to bring up.
Great familly fun -- circa 1994 -- before PIXAR totally rendered all non CGI-animated familly entertainment obsolete. Some scenes were cringe-worthy though (like most Robin Williams movies). B+.

There was Jurassic Park
Then There Was Mrs. Doubtfire
Then there was the Fugitive
Definately a big suprise and was a great film to watch. I remember this was an Academy Award winner for makeup.
Best makeup job ever on film.

Very funny movie with a great performance by Williams. Introduced a new generation to the man who would be Bond as well.

Great movie. Somehow combined humor with emotion without things getting too corny or awkward. One of Robin Williams' best, where he actually shows off his acting talent as well as his comedic gift. He avoids going too over-the-top, and still gets the same amount of laughs. I'm not a very big fan of the ending though, the only reason this movie wouldn't get an A+. If Sally Field was going for the "mid-life crisis soccer mom that people love to hate," then she nailed the role. I couldn't stand her!
Overall Grade: A-

It's a great movie, but it's basically Tootsie meets Kramer vs. Kramer. That saying though, Williams' performance elevates the film from being melodramatic, into being a sincere film.
